Creating the course syllabus

A detailed syllabus gives students a sense of the nature of the course, what they will be expected to do in the course, and how their performance will be assessed. In many cases, the syllabus is viewed as a contract between you and the students. A syllabus should be clear about policies and procedures related to the course.
